These bras pack a bang

Lord of Penmai

Thanks to an ingenious design by a law enforcement supplier from Oklahoma, a bra fitted with a gun holster is now on sale.

The Flashbang bra is attached with a thermoplastic shell that is able to store one of more than 20 hand gun styles already on the market. Lisa Looper, owner of Looper Law Enforcement which is a company that produces "concealed carry gear" , came up with the design to give her the ability to defend herself "at a moment's notice".

The bra offers a modernday take on traditional female self-defence systems such as the garter belt holster made popular in American Old Western films of the early forties. "I really never intended to create a holster line, that was never something that I wanted to do. I just did this for myself but as I was talking to other women, they were like 'oh my gosh, this is great, I have the same problem'" , the Daily Mail quoted Looper as telling ABC.
